New Octavia (2013)

in another ten years most members on here will be driving skodas

Not if my wife has anything to do about it. I suggested test driving a Yeti before we bought her 3-Series Touring. She basically said she wouldn't be seen dead driving a Skoda

Her loss Andrew.

Too right, I quite fancied one. Would have saved me a fortune too.

If they made a Coupe vRS, id be tempted. But only if it had a 2.0TSI.

If I'm honest I don't mind the Yeti at all.

I prefer the current model. Saw a beaut today, electric blue estate on a 62 plate. Nearly messed me boxers

The problem with the blue is that it is a lovely colour but the vast majority of the pre-facelift Mk2's were blue as it was the colour to have as you could only get it on the vRS.

Sadly this has carried over to the facelift variant too. Still nice mind.

I did say most, not all

Although I expect Skoda prices will rise as newer model come through. Which defeats the point of buying one
Price and value for money was the deciding factor for me to get a Skoda

I bought a vRS in 2006 because of the ignorance of the VW sales people and I'm back in one because, as Eddie says, they are excellent value for money.

Mk3 vRS could well be on the cards.

I'd always be tempted with a skoda, my dads on his 4th skoda (favourite, felicia and now on his 2nd fabia) and they have all been faultless, only had the usual wear and tear and maintenance. The local skoda dealer/garage is brilliant as well (independent not part of the dealer network)

presumably not a Mk2 Fabia vRS then

I will be looking into this aswell.  Great VFM.. yeti idea now binned off..

[tony_danza]

I think it looks great, exactly what you want out of one of these - not to brash, not trying too hard. Just understated and great value for money.

I do have a massive soft spot for Yetis too.

Love the yeti cracking car

Lol nah, apart from the favourite they've been 1.9 diesels.. Sayin that his 58plate mk2 he has now I don't think is a 1.9, I'll have to find out tomorrow
